Unbeaten Hungarian super welterweight and former amateur star Balazs Bacskai (14-0) defends the WBO Intercontinental title against Mexican Alejandro Davila (22-2-2) on May 28 in Budapest on a New School Promotion.
The Back to Business show in Brussels on August 28 is postponed until October 3. The show was to have featured heavyweight Big Joel Tambwe Djeko, 17-8-1, Swedish light heavy Oscar Ahlin (18-2) and female super middleweight Femke Hermans (8-3). The reason for the postponement is the situation around corona in Belgium.
Hungarian super middleweight Mate Kis, 13-0-2, won the vacant WBO Intercontinental title last in Arad, Romania, with wide points win over a very brave Timo Laine, 23-11, from Finland in the headliner of a Felix-Promotion show televised by M4Sport Hungary.
Hungarian boxing fans can now feel rejuvenated after Imre Szello took revenge on Denis Grachev last Friday night on the main eventer of an eight-bout boxing card in Budakalasz, Hungary. In 2013 Grachev won a split decision after a close ten-round affair against previously unbeaten, former two-division world champion and fellow Hungarian Zsolt Erdei in Monte Carlo, Monaco. That was the arguably biggest achievement for the Russian-born Grachev, who lost all his major matchups since.
Felix Promotion is closing out this year with a busy card on Friday evening at the Lake Side Hotel in Szekesfehervar, Hungary. While some of the flagship fighters, like world-ranked contenders Imre Szello and Zoltan Kovacs are already preparing for the Holidays, others are sweating in the gym to get ready for one more tango before Christmas.
Leading Hungarian boxing promoter Felix Racz’s Felix Promotion opened its autumn season with an eight-bout card in Varpalota, Hungary. The Friday event was originally planned to be headlined by WBO European titlist Zoltan Kovacs but that bout had canceled after Tanzanian Francis Miyeyusho failed to leave his country due to visa issues.
